Break

(Verse 1)
Time and time again I feel it...
The pain is growing, but still I'm grinnin'.
On the surface, I'm calm, cool, collected,
but it's tearin' me up deep within...
Bottle the pain up, I can bear!
I'm too strong to let you share it!
My emotions must be redirected...
Hold them back until I break again...

Stand back, watch me explode!
(Refrain)x2
You'll never know my hurt, never know my pain,
never know these thoughts are swirlin' 'round in my brain...
I thought I had it all but then I threw it away...
I gotta keep you in the dark or things will never be the same...

(Verse 2)
It festers within my sub-conscience...
I am tortured, I am haunted
by the power of my weakness...
It brings me down, leads me astray.
I am trapped by my frustration
like I'm caught up in hallucinations.
I'm losing control of my senses...
I really need to break away!

Stand back, watch me explode!
(Refrain)x2

(Bridge)
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, 'cause you know it tolls for me!

(Verse 3)
This has to end, feels like I'm dyin'...
I'll show my rage or I'll start cryin'...
I am desperate for assistance,
I need you to help me out!
Now I'll let you share my burden
because I've gotten tired of hurtin'...
Please lead me to my deliverance
as I watch my world break down!

Stand back, watch me explode!
(Refrain)x2

Now you know my hurt, now you know my pain...
Now you know the thoughts swirlin' 'round in my brain...
I opened up my heart and I showed you my shame...
Since you're no longer in the dark, things will never be the same...
